Prince George mill workers on strike

Oct 25, 2018 | 9:30 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — Picket lines have gone up outside the Prince George sawmill and chip plant.

This after the United Steelworkers started rotating strikes in Williams Lake last week at Tolko’s Lakeview division.

The strike has been prompted by a lack of progress at the bargaining table.

The union says the bargaining unit for the mills, Conifer, is still asking for concessions in times of record-breaking lumber prices and profits.

Close to 200 union members are involved in today’s job action. It’s the first strike at the sawmill since 1986.
